Value-stream mapping at PlastiPharm is a once-a-year effort that is conducted by senior management at a high level. Because PlastiPharm produces more than 150 products, the value-stream maps are often obsolete before they are posted on the shop floor. The 3D production area has proposed to management that they analyze and create their own value-stream maps for the different products they make. Why is it a good idea for the 3D area to take over this task?

  • The 3D area understands better than management how they make the products, can best describe the process, and can then identify ways to improve.
  • Producing their own value-stream maps will allow the 3D area to determine what steps it will need to take to change in the future.
  • Creating their own value-stream maps will demonstrate that the 3D production employees are ready to take on additional responsibilities.
  • If the 3D area produces its own value-stream maps, they can better inform senior management about their contributions to the company.
